Woke up to dead battery this morning. Checking possible reasons and asking since it's the only new thing in the vehicle. Wife's car and pretty sure that vehicle kills power to everything after ignition off. Just asking...

2015 Jeep Wrangler. Evo All with T-harness. Installed 3 weeks ago and has worked great since. Wife uses it every morning. First sign of a problem and investigating possibilities.

No the remote start has nothing to do with it as long as it was installed correctly and is shutting down on take over...but i get what youre saying most people point the finger at remote start at first sign of a problem....try doing a parasitic draw test or going and getting your battery tested at a shop....

If this was a 1 time thing, maybe it was one of those times we tend to do things like leave the dome lights on, or the parking lights. As long as the red led is off on the evo while the car is just sitting there, it shouldnt be a remote start problem. This is assuming there are no issues with the install itself, such as the parking light connection.

If the problem is persitent, problem could be elsewhere.
